26 MR. C. B. CLARKE ON THE 
The specimen suits B. Rex well, but it is in flower, without 
even young fruit, so that the determination cannot be sure. The 
specimen shows the highly apiculate anthers; but also shows a 
long repent rhizome, about l inch thick, covered with broad 
scales. 
Breorta Warr, sp. nova. (Plate XI.) 
Planta 4-12 uncias alta, tenera, pubescens. Rhizoma breve, 
lignosum. Folia longe petiolata, cordato-ovata, acuta, integra — 
duplicato-serrata. Flores numerosi, minusculi, rosei. Anther® - 
vix apiculate. Capsula 3-alata, anguste oblonga, pubescens, cum 
alis longa 4 unciam, lata $ unciam, loculis 2, inter alas 2 angus- 
tissimas dehiscens; ale tertie magne margo superior rectus 
horizontalis ; placente bifide.

North Muneypore, alt. 3500-5500 feet [nn. 41414, 42124]. 
A Platycentrum, but not very near any of the Indian species. 
Its capsule dehisces nearly as the capsule of B. gigantea; but 
from the weakness of the plant and the non-apieulate anthers it 
should perhaps stand near B. procridifolia. 
B. OBVERSA, sp. nova. (Plate XII.) 
Subacaulis, rubro-pubescens. Rhizoma breve, lignosum. Petioli 
8 uncias longi; folia 6-8 uncias longa, cordato-ovata acuta, integra 
minute serrulata. Floresnon visi. Pedunculi fructigeri 6 uncias , 
longi. Capsula longa 4 unciam, lata } unciam, subquadrataf 
loculis 2, anguste 1-alata, in tribus lateribus debiscens ; placenta ^" 
bifide. |

The capsule is unlike that of any other Platycentrum known\e - 
to me, as it is widest in the plane which is at right angles to the 
plane containing the principal wing. The principal wing is here 
too very small. :
